Oct. 7, 2011

CLEARWATER, Fla. -- The Point Park University volleyball team won three times Friday on Day 1 of the Clearwater Christian Tournament to run its winning streak to nine matches. The consecutive wins streak ties a season high set last month.

The Pioneers improved to 24-4 overall by coming away with 3-0 sweeps over Florida Christian, Northwood (Fla.) and Ave Maria (Fla.). Point Park concludes the event with two matches Saturday -- versus Grace (11:30 a.m.) and at Clearwater Christian (1:30 p.m.) -- before traveling back to campus.

Point Park used plenty of backups and still had an easy time with Florida Christian, 25-11, 25-15, 25-11. The Pioneers got a bit of an uprising from Northwood in the second set but otherwise cruised, 25-15, 25-20, 25-7. Point Park topped Ave Maria, 25-11, 25-18, 25-14 with another deep rotation of players.
